Hi Bel. Ok. Let them research and see whether or not the Universe had a beginning.
Open Source Wikipedia says: "According to the Big Bang models, the universe at the beginning was very hot and very compact, and since then it has been expanding and cooling." The Universe certainly had a beginning. I am aware for a while they said it was around 13.5 BN years ago, now they're saying somewhere double of that, around 26 BN years ago. So be it. What existed 30 BN years ago, then?
If nothing, then ex nihil, nihil fit, which means, out of nothing, nothing comes, then even now, nothing would exist.
Therefore, it isn't true that nothing ever existed. What is true is that, nothing material existed then. And therefore ...
Saint Thomas Aquinas: "Therefore, if everything is possible not to be, then at one time there could have been nothing in existence. Now if this were true, even now there would be nothing in existence, because that which does not exist only begins to exist by something already existing."
